Halloween Trip? Options

[nate]

Hello everyone, my name is nate.

For years I have been facinated by prospecting/rockhounding, but have never just gone for it.

As of now, im only a registered guest of CP. Spending some time checking out the website. It looks like there is quite a wealth of information on here for even the public and I'm enjoying it!

What I would truly love is to go out with an experienced rockhounder! If anyone is heading out this Saturday 10/31/15 or any of the upcoming weekends and wouldnt mind a rookie tagging along, please contact me or post here. My goal for this trip wouldnt be to come home with a pocket full of goodies, but instead a notepad full of tips and notes to help me start on my collecting journeys. Id be glad to join you anywhere within a couple hours of Colorado Springs. I feel like I can only learn so much reading through forums and websites. The common thing ive seen on them is GO WITH SOMEONE who knows what they are doing so you dont waste a lot of time.

If you arent going out or prefer going solo, I'd love any advice tips or contacts that may help me as im starting out what i think could be a great hobby!

Thanks,
nate

Hello Nate,


Welcome to the forum. Hope you find some info that helps you out. I've taken a lot of people "beginners" out in the field and I'm sure you can hook-up with
someone that will set you upon the right path. This site is full of helpful people.

I like your approach....

We have all started somewhere, I think the ones that stay with it are the ones who realize what it takes to be successful. Build upon your knowledge one
outing at a time and before long you will be leading the pack.


So tell us about yourself, your ambitions. Where do you come from? What have you been doing the last few years. I for one will be watching, I know
there will be others. Woody.
